ABSTRACT
Humans are most sensitive to whole body vibration (WBV) within the frequency range of 1 to 20 Hz. Whole-body vibration
can cause fatigue, stomach problems, headache. After daily exposure over a number of years, whole-body vibration can affect the entire body and result in a number of health disorders. Workers driving tractors or other vehicles are especially at
risk of being exposed to WBV. On the basis of the guidance provided in ISO 2631-1 to relate vibration exposure with the
risks of health effects are established based on absorbed power. The 4-DOF dynamic model developed by Wan and Schimmels is recommended for the study of biodynamic responses of seated human subjects under vertical whole body vibration.
This model of the human body is used to estimate the absorbed power distributed in head, upper torso, lower torso and
thighs. The vibration energy (power) absorption of seated human that is exposed to vertical whole-body vibration are investigated under work of the aggregate tractor-round baler.
